Use of Automation Policy in Airlines?
Hello people,
In an airline, if I disengaged the AP above 1000 ft in final I was considered a risktaker. And I had to engage it just after lift off. If I did not, the captain did. It was not written, but that was their policy.
In other airline, I could fly fully automated from lift off to just above minimum or enjoy a pure raw data, no FD, no ATHR ILS from 10,000. Again, nothing was written in the SOP regarding that.
I would like to know what is the policy in other airlines regarding the use of automation, wether a written policy or not.
Thank you
